True Colors :)

This year the Festival of Colors was amazing... as always. I went down with a bunch of friends and had a blast. This whole day was really good, so lets start at the beginning shall we? I think so..



Lisa, Jill, Jazon and I met up at the Institute parking lot to carpool down to Spanish Fork for the festival. I had us get a picture of us with our cars because we have all been with each other when we got our new cars this year. That was an adventure. All the cars are named, Jazons truck is Nigel, my car is Flo, and Lisa's car is Fabio. OK trivia time..what Disney movie did these names come from??....That is correct, NEMO!!! So any-who we all drove down there in my car after some other friends met up with us.

There were just a few things that the people in charge of the festival asked, one was not to throw any of the color before the ceremonial burning of the witch. People dont listen and so after Jazon and I had gotten some amazing Indian lunch (mmmmmmm curry!!) we were walking back to find the group and people started throwing color at us. That bugged.... but what do you do.

Look close and you will see a boy crowd surfing. He was separated from his mom so he was being sent back over to her. When he got over to her, she grabbed him and was kissing his head. I love seeing a mom re-unite with her child :)

This was after the color had been thrown and then settled. When the color was thrown, it was a huge cloud, you couldn't see anyone around you it was so think! If you took a breath through your mouth the color would coat your mouth and you would have to spit it out...it was nasty tasting. If you took a breath through your nose you would start coughing. SO after learning that a couple of times I just put my shirt over my nose and tried my best to breathe that way. Next year I am wearing a mask.

Some of us after our color was gone...or so I thought, Jazon ended up throwing yellow on me several times right in the mouth....The color was scented, colored, corn starch..... YUCK!!!



As many of the group as we could find. This was so much fun, I am defiantly want to go again next year!






Now don't you worry, my car has had every nook and cranny cleaned, that was what I did till it was dark after I got home and showered. My car has never been cleaner.
